1. An information handling system, comprising:

  • a host processing complex to instantiate a hosted processing environment and including a first general-purpose processing unit (GPU) and a GPU hot-plug module that enables a hot-plug operation to replace the first GPU with a second GPU while power is provided to the host processing complex, wherein the hosted processing environment includes a plurality of workloads that can be instantiated on the first GPU, the plurality of workloads including a first workload and a second workload, and wherein the hosted processing environment instantiates the first workload on the first GPU; and

    a wireless management system that operates out of band from the hosted processing environment, that directs the hosted processing environment to halt the first workload, and that directs the GPU hot-plug module to perform the hot-plug operation, and directs the hosted processing environment to launch the second workload on the second GPU after the GPU hot-plug module performs the hot-plug operation;

    wherein the hosted processing environment provides a list of the workloads to the wireless management system.
